Oil Tycoon! true ending

The badge
| Badge | Description | Clear rate |
|---|---|---|
| TRUE ENDING | "which to choose..." | 6.3% |
Created 20 August 2026; rate read from the Roblox badges API on 17 October 2026.
The choice
At Big Oil Inc, John Oil makes his case before you decide:
"Do I kill John Oil or do I show mercy?"
He talks about working honest jobs — Bloxburgger, Builder Brothers Pizza — and says he has shown "nothing but compassion, love, friendship." Miguel's wishes push the same way. The decision in a verified run:
"Even though I WANT TO KILL THIS GUY, I will shed mercy upon him... I will do it."
Spare him. That is the True Ending. The badge fires the moment the choice lands — "The true ending. Wow."
Step by step
- Progress to Big Oil Inc and the confrontation with John Oil.
- Let the dialogue run — he makes his case.
- Choose mercy. Do not blow him up.
- TRUE ENDING awards, and Miguel's gift follows (droppers run 25% faster in a verified run).
Why the rarity is real
- Ending 1 sits at 18.7% — still nearly three times this one.
- The rate is the most volatile in the set: 8.0% on 28 September, down to 5.7% on 1 October as new players flooded in, back up to 7.0% by 6 October, then easing to 6.3% on 17 October.
- The badge description ("which to choose...") is the developer winking at exactly that.
If you already did Ending 1
Replay is free: the confrontation presents again and the badge does not conflict. Your factory, secrets and badges all persist, so nothing needs rebuilding — walk back to the choice and answer the other way. The badges sit side by side in the badge table, and holding both is a completionist state fewer than one in fourteen players reach.
Setting up the run
There is no separate unlock and no item requirement — the gate is reaching Big Oil Inc with the decision still in front of you. What does help is having the six secrets done before you walk in, because that leaves only the story to finish on that run.
Badge persistence works in your favour here: anything you collected on earlier runs is still held, so this attempt only has to settle the ending itself. The full secret route is on the secrets guide.
